How Industrial Floor Coating Saves You Money

11/08/18

Part of running a business, especially one that manufactures, stores, or transports products is keeping your facility well maintained. The better the condition of your floors, particularly those made of concrete and part of your warehouse, loading dock, garage, and storage areas, the lower you can keep maintenance and repair costs.

If you are looking to save money in terms of maintenance and repair, then purchasing the right industrial floor coating provides you with definite advantages.
How Industrial Floor Coating Works
A proper floor coating provides exceptional protection from spills, impacts, and scrapes that otherwise might damage the concrete itself. The coating is usually made from polyurethane, a strong, durable material that is applied wet. When it dries, the polyurethane product seals the surface and provides additional protection that keeps the floor in like-new condition.

Because the substance is durable, your floor coating will last for years under normal use conditions acting as a barrier that prevents staining, cracking, and discoloration due to aging.

Benefits of Protecting Industrial Floors
There are several advantages to using the right industrial floor coating products, especially if your floors are still in like-new condition.
Prevents Staining: While the stains caused by spills create an unwanted discoloration of the floor, the coating provides additional benefits by protecting the concrete itself. Because the coating acts as a barrier, the concrete is not compromised by liquids, dirt, and debris that otherwise would weaken the material over time.

Prevents Cracking and Chipping: Proper floor coating is quite effective in preventing impacts from causing cracking or chipping of the surface. Because of the porous nature of concrete, damage from impacts can be considerably reduced when the proper coating is applied.

Improves Property Value: While no company can promise that their product will improve the sale value of your property. It is true that buyers become more interested when they see the flooring is properly protected. A strong floor coating means less money spent on maintenance and repairs and more confidence that the like-new condition will last for a long time. This makes a positive impact on potential buyers.

However, the one detriment to using polyurethane-based products is that they contain toxins. When released into the air, the toxins may cause a number of health issues. Until recently, it was believed that such toxins were only released when applied. However, new studies indicate that they still release into the atmosphere years after they have dried.

For the safety of those who work inside, you will need to obtain non-toxic, environmentally-safe floor coating products for your building or facility.
